Rare notamermaid Posted April 15, 2021 Author #3804 Ā Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) The coat of arms - the MĆ¼nchner Kindl in it of course - of Munich on a gate or above a gateway. It looks Gothic, but the whole scene makes me think it is neo-Gothic, so after 1850. Ā notamermaid Ā Edited April 15, 2021 by notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for Town Hall or New Town Hall. You were even more descriptive.Ā Ā I tried to give the clue that it was not the most famous part of the building (Munich Glockenspiel) and dogs4fun got it. Ā When looking through my pictures - I didn't realize at first that it was part of this building until I saw the label my iPhone gave me for it!

Rare notamermaid Posted April 16, 2021 Author #3814 Ā Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) To me it looks like a park with gondola rides offered, kind of reminds me of Dessau/Wƶrlitz photos. Ā But I will guess the Rhone, it looks more French than German, a bit like what I have seen about Lyon on television.

dogs4fun Posted April 16, 2021 #3815 Ā Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Oh my, just did a quick Google search. Gondola rides are offered all over the world - in the US (NY, Boston, CA, NOLA), Belgium, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Netherlands .... the list is endless. I had no clue. Did you catch a ride?Ā Curious to see where your photo was taken. Edited April 16, 2021 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
